Trunk (and cable) don't work!
Recently I opened up the trunk to change the reverse lights, and I assumed I had put everything correctly back together (how hard could it be, right?)
But today, I discovered that the trunk won't open with either the key fob or the button. Furthermore, when I tried to pull the trunk release through the rear arm hole, The cable extended out, like I pulled it loose. Does anyone have any idea how I can still open the trunk to take a look at what's going on? TIA!

Shine a flashlight through the passthrough. You should see a glow in the dark release on the latch itself. This is not cable driven, so you just need a stick or something to push it.
Any modern car should have this. It's just a little tricky when the rear seats don't fold so you can't climb in.

Tried that. It looks like something also got jammed into the mechanism of the latch, and the cable looks to be pretty loose if I can pull it back all the way. I'm going to have to remove the backseat, which thankfully I found a video from EndlessRPM:
